Why do you say this?  In RFC 2461 in the Sending Neighbor Solicitation section it states:


 If the source address of the packet prompting the solicitation is the
 same as one of the addresses assigned to the outgoing interface, that
 address SHOULD be placed in the IP Source Address of the outgoing
 solicitation. 


So if the packet prompting the solicitation had its global address as the source address, and the global address was an address on the outbound interface, I would expect the solicitation to have the global address as its source address.  Right?
